GW News: LAS VEGAS OPEN 2025

About par the course for a model range that features a lot of Da Vinci nonsense despite supposedly representing the most technologically advanced subset of the Imperium.

Could agree, but those ones look cool.
This one looks silly, imo
 
Which dragons are you talking about?
This and it's hineous kin:

latest


I had no doubts that they would make the new kind of TW infintely improved dragons, like they did the new Pegasus rider. Now I can't sleep sound in the night knowing they might just recast these disgraces in resin.

I feel sorry for Wood Elves not getting a plastic Dragon in 8th Edition when Dark Elves got one and High Elves got one as far back as 7th. They deserve to get that much in TOW when they eventually get a model release.

meh, I kinda like some of the silly nonsense the admech got. It's a weird steampunky mix that somehow works.
In that sense, putting one on stilts is kinda funny and it somehow fits in with the others, at least visually.

Having said that, it being a literal skitari on stilts is a bit lame. I like it visually, but how is it supposed to work as a "special" soldier? What about this is better than a regular skitari? Not to mention, how is this better than the existing Admech walkers which can carry some heavier guns?

Trazyn is not the only new model, but he's the only one the shown.

Imotekh definitely needed a plastic model, and this one is a good rendition of the character.

Also I'm interested to see what other Necron goodness GW have planned. Even if it's plastic resculpts of other existing characters (of which there are a few who still need such attention - Trazyn, Orikan, Zhandrekh, Obyron and Anrakyr), it'll still be welcome.

I didn't hear if there will be another new model in this release.

It doesn't look like it according to the article, but it's a new character, so it's something to expand the Admech roster.

We got ourselves a Relictor Chaplain on Draconith coming soon for AoS. I personally like more the rider than the mount.

Stormcast... boring... moving on.


Ugh, not another new Sylvaneth model :shifty:. Well at least it's a Kurnoth Hunter, one of the less ugly aspects of the Sylvaneth range (mainly because it follows the aesthetic of the 8th Edition Wood Elf Forest Spirit models).

PLASTIC STRIKING SCORPIONS!

A much-needed remake of a staple, previously Finecast, Craftworld Eldar unit. And in a box of 10 this time, rather than the poor-value 5-model boxes that were released for Howling Banshees and Dark Reapers.

The current new Scouts.

Apart from having better face sculpts than the previous kit, another unnecessary sizing up of previous Firstborn Marine kits to fit with Primaris.



Good to see Bretonnians getting lots of attention, they deserve it after playing second-fiddle to the pathetic Empire for so many years. Those new Foot Knights are great. However I'm very concerned at the mention of the old kits being double-size like the re-released Horus Heresy Mk III and IV Space Marines, both for the significant increase in price (though at least you will get a good lot of models for it unlike similarly-priced AoS and 40K kits) and the worrying implication that TOW will be another edition trying to market big units, particularly for elite armies like Dwarfs and Elves for which such large units are unnatural and heretical.

And making those new characters in Forge World Resin is needless when they could be made in plastic and thus be made more customisable (especially as GW plastic kits are rising to meet the prices of Forge World detritus anyway, rather than the reverse as it should be).

Returning metal kits, like the Trebuchet, for this and other armies, are returning in resin.

Not particularly impressed by this because a Forge World resculpt, for only a small improvement in resin quality, will come with a vastly increased price tag. But maybe this will be just a placeholder until they can make plastic versions of these. I live in hope.

TOW will be one of the first releases in 2024.

Finally we have a release date, and sooner than I had thought it would be at this point in time (I was still dreading a wait until July 2025). I look forward to seeing further articles on it during the rest of the year.
 
To be fair I'm pretty excited about The Old World, but I'm expecting all the resin models to be overly expensive and I'm not looking forward to having to rebase so many models. I certainly have more than enough Seraphon to use in ToW, but it's really going to depend on how difficult it is to rebase them. But at least it gives me an excuse to get some of the new Saurus Warriors to use in AoS and rebase old ones for ToW...
